Summary

This week on the CAFE Insider podcast, Barb McQuade guest co-hosts with Joyce Vance while Preet is traveling. Barb served as the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan from 2010 to 2017. She is now a CAFE contributor, a law professor at the University of Michigan law school, and a legal analyst for NBC News & MSNBC. In this sample from the episode, Joyce and Barb discuss the reports that former President Donald Trump took classified documents to Mar-a-Lago instead of giving them to the National Archives, as required by the Presidential Records Act. They also break down Trump’s potential criminal liability for taking the documents, and the national security concerns surrounding mishandling classified materials. In the full episode, Joyce and Barb discuss:  – The decision by Trump’s long-time accounting firm, Mazars USA, to cut ties with him in response to the New York Attorney General’s ongoing investigation into the Trump Organization; and – The latest January 6th Committee developments, including the ongoing battle to compel John Eastman, the author of a memo outlining methods for Trump to overturn the election results, to comply with a subpoena, and reports that Rudy Giuliani is in communication with the committee.
